quickberry2: If most of the money borrowed by this govt were used for developmental projects, people wont be complaining. Most of our debts goes to recurrent expenditure, debt servicing and misappropriation of funds. Just look at today's Business day reporting that the CBN financed FG to the tune of over 4 trillion naira in 2018 which is against the CBN rule. So let's ask ourselves, what did the FG do with all that money including the ones we borrowed? As for the OP, I have hope that Salami and Soludo will tell the President the gospel truth about how to make Nigeria productive and business friendly. The problem is, will Buhari put to action their recommendations? Your guess is as good as mine. |

Yankee101: Everything you said here is perfect. However, Nigeria is notorious for always reneging on contracts signed. It has happened over and over given the reason why P&ID and the cabal that time agreed for contact to be under the UK law. An Oil expert on radio program said that contracts like this have always been one of the ways our elites syphon oil money from the NNPC from inception. A friend who's doing his MBA in LBS told me that because of this well publicised P&ID issue, there are fears by economists that most foreign companies wanting to do business with our FG may likely include that the contracts must be under the British law. 4 Likes 1 Share |

KingOfAllIgbos: Ok now are we not about to cough out $450 m $450m just like that before our appeal is heard. $250m to the company to be paid in 60 days and $200m to the court to be paid before 14 days or vice versa if I'm not mistaken. Just another $400m and it'll be equal to $850m that GEJ agreed to be paid to them. By the time the case is over, we may cough out up to $1bn. Are we sure that we'll get judgement at the appeal? I'm not a lawyer but whatever Justice Belgore told them was actually what nailed us and we may finally nail us in the appeal. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Saudi is now thinking about a world without oil. They produce at least 10m barrels per day but they're now diversifying. Meanwhile our beloved Nigeria is still wasting money looking for oil in Lake Chad, a place with all due respect doesn't have oil in Large quantities. We've still not put in place critical infrastructures that'll help speed up the diversification of our economy. It's as if we don't want to diversify. Infcat our Leaders still believe that something will still happen and oil prices will increase to above $100. Saudi lost 5m barrels per day and the price moved up by an inch, wise people should've seen it as a danger sign but no not us. Our biggest customer India says in about 2 years all public buses will be electric. 7 Likes 1 Share |

ChimaAdeoye:. [/b]Our international airport seems to have entered voicemail[b] December Reopening Not Realistic – Source There are strong indications that the December 2019 date for reopening of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu State, may not be feasible. Investigations by The Guardian revealed that more than two weeks after the airport was shut to traffic to make way for the repair of its runway and general rehabilitation, work is yet to commence even as there is no budget to that effect. It was further gathered that even the contracts outlined were yet to be awarded as a result of the Federal Government’s inability to decide, which construction firm (between Julius Berger and PW) was suited for the job, scope of work to be embarked upon, and the road repairs in the zone aimed at cushioning the effect of the closure. The airport was closed on August 24. The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sarika, told reporters after his meeting with southeast governors, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and other stakeholders in Enugu, last weekend, that the airport’s runway would be rehabilitated and extended, damaged tarmac rebuilt, and new landing equipment with night landing facility installed, but failed to disclose the contract sum and who among the contractors had been awarded the job. Southeast governors on their own did not hide their preference for Julius Berger following alleged poor job earlier done on the runway by PW. A competent source in the Aviation Ministry told The Guardian that funding may delay the work as about N6.5b is needed to rehabilitate and expand the runway alone, while another N1.5b will be required to fix the runway lights and bring it to international standard. The source added that while the runway would be expanded from three kilometres to about 3.6 kilometres, the fencing of the airport to enhance security may take an additional N100m. The source further disclosed that the delay in the takeoff of works was compounded by the level of disrepair on alternative routes suggested by the Federal Government for air users in the zone to get to Owerri, Asaba and Port Harcourt airports. The alternative routes in the South East, which, would serve as palliatives to the airport’s closure are completely impassable, without immediate intervention, they would not serve that purpose. Already governors of the zone have written to the Ministry of Works and Housing alerting on the dangers posed by the alternative routes and called for immediate responses. The letter written on September 5, was signed by the Director-General of Southeast Governors’ Forum, Prof. Simeon Ortuanya. It had highlighted the current state of the roads, frustrations that users face and called for emergency repairs. Meanwhile, governors of the zone have inaugurated a Project Supervision and Implementation Committee to oversee the palliative measures suggested by the federal government. The committee led by Chris Okoye, Commissioners of works from the five states; Prof. Fred Eze representing Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and Archbishop Fred Ede, representing the clergy. https://m.guardian.ng/news/no-budget-for-repairs-of-akanu-ibiam-airport/ 2 Likes |

The moment he tries to stop it or even reduce by a huge %percentage, militants will start blowing up oil pipelines and installations again. The reason why it seems like the militants have gone underground is because most of them are now into illegal oil bunkering. |

If it's possible, he should resign and be a traffic management consultant not just in Nigeria but Africa. 1 Like |

Icon4s: Many of his colleagues don't agree with his article. Example every morning in traffic I always listen to Lagos talks 91.3 sportstalk by 8am, the analysts (journalists) Segun Agbede, Dumnodi Okonta, Joseph Faulkner,etc always clamour for the inclusion of Home based players. Infact Segun Agbede even suggested that the NFF should impose home based players on Rohr and programs like sportstalk have huge listenership. So Colin's article is good and timely too. |

There isn't much money to be made in the downstream sector any more, at least by his standard. Buhari wants NNPC to be importing most of our PMS and also the initial gra gra against illegal refineries has stopped, atleast 50% of diesel (very very conservative figure) used in SE/SS are now from illegal refineries. Let's not forget that Buhari is being pressure to increase NEPA bill, liberalise the power sector more so as to attract more investments in that secotr. So it makes business sense for Ote$$$ to divest to power. So to Otedo$$$, money made in the downstream sector now is not worth his time any more. |

Digitron: I said it in another thread and I'm saying it here too, this is a stupid ass move by Ugwuanyi. Why not relocate all the facilities to Agbani I know the excuse will be to use ESUT to spread development to all the senatorial zones but the argument to me is flawed. I believe if we think, we can find other ways to spread development. Resources is too scarce now for this jamboree. Nigeria is broke. There are still much to do in Enugu state. Most parts of Enugu and Naukka urban still buy water, it's not a crime if Gburugburu becomes the first Governor in Nigeria to make sure that every street have pipe borne water at least once a week. I believe it's doable if we put our minds to it. House rent in Enugu are quite expensive, do something about it. Even if it means flooding Enugu with Loma Linda type of low cost houses, the government should/can do it. Or see if there could be a PPP arrangement for low cost housing. Look at our public school system, a sham with unqualified/unmotivated teachers. Our state government can fix it even if it means passing a law for a special salary structure for the teachers to attract top talent and also retraining. Education just like health can also attract the aid of international aid agencies. A friend of mine heard Ugo Agballa talk about installing WiFi infrastructures in designated areas in the state during his 2007 guber campaign. I believe it's still possible, Ugwuanyi can roll out an IT plan for the state. He can make Enugu state the go to place for all the IT services for the SE/SS. With a good IT plan, he can attract top IT talents who are tired of staying in Lagos because of the traffic problems here. Infact make I end here. I apologise for my rant biko 5 Likes |
